The package is already quite "strange" (due to its historical origin),
and I doubt the upstream would put much effort in it.
Is there a reason that the libvtk6-dev package does not provide the
usual links like
/usr/include/vtk -> vtk-6
/usr/include/vtk-6 -> vtk-6.2
libvtkGUISupportQt.so -> libvtkGUISupportQt-6.2.so
libvtkGUISupportQt-6.so -> libvtkGUISupportQt-6.2.so
? This would allow to use these libraries without black magic.
Best regards
Ole
